All waste entering the Watauga County transfer station is weighed across the facility's scales. Each household in the County is allowed 2000 pounds of free waste per year. All other users are charged a tipping fee of $53/ton for MSW and $42/ton for clean wood going to the mulch pile.

The ten staffed convenience centers are located throughout the County. Watauga County residents may use any of the convenience center container sites listed below. The sites accept most types of household solid waste. Bulky items and materials, which do not easily fit into a standard household trash bag, should be taken to the transfer station for disposal.

Watauga County has a progressive Solid Waste/Recycling program and is always looking to adopt new methods and encourage recycling to safeguard the County's natural resources. All container sites are equipped with recycling containers for glass, newsprint, paper, and cardboard.
